“…However, during the French Revolutionary period in the 17th century, the imperative need for metals for armaments had found the usefulness in bronze doors. Bronze doors could be found from, for instance, the abbey church of Saint-Denis (Pastan, 2018) and the Florence Cathedral (Stokstad and Cothren, 2016). It was common to find sculptures on these bronze doors.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the history of Anglican churches in Malaysia and discusses their typical features and their respective maintenance practices. Design/methodology/approach A narrative review of 84 literacy sources published between 1967 and 2020 on the development and features of Anglican churches in Malaysia, along with recommendations on maintenance practices from the asset and facilities management perspective. The exploration of churches’ features follows three main disciplines in building maintenance according to the Jabatan Kerja Raya Guideline for as-built buildings in Malaysia. Findings The findings of the study have then been tabulated to form a maintenance framework to recommend suitable maintenance practices on specific building components based on different materials. The paper argues that as places of worship, the assets of religious facilities are intangible compared to any other types of building that serve a tangible function (i.e. shelter, commercial or industrial operation). Throughout the exploration of their maintenance practices suggested by vast sources of literature, it is proven that the maintenance of churches is not as straightforward as merely remedying the defects, but it requires the maintenance to radically minimise any disturbance to their aesthetics, thus making maintenance a more challenging task at churches. Originality/value This paper proposes a maintenance framework for Anglican churches in Malaysia by categorising building disciplines and their corresponding building components, which supports future research to improve the maintenance practices of religious facilities.

Rachel Dressler is a scholar who has always been willing to critically reevaluate traditional iconographic explanations, and that is one of the reasons I found it so stimulating to organize the College Art Association session, "Reassessing the Legacy of Meyer Schapiro" with her. [1] In tribute to Rachel's spirit of inquiry, in this paper I will reexamine themes in the western rose window of Notre-Dame of Paris, which is the large circular aperture with stone traceries designed to hold stained glass at the center of the cathedral's entrance façade (see Fig. 1).
